I usually am a patron of a different location and enjoy the food, service and atmosphere there so I expected that I would have a similar experience at the Alpharetta location. I was wrong. When we walked in the hostess was pleasant and greeted as well as seated us promptly. It was our waitress, I believe her name was Patricia as that is what was printed on our receipt, came over. She didn’t greet us which is fine. We put in our drink and appetizer order as well as my child’s ramen order while one of our party went to the bathroom. Once she returned from the bathroom Patricia took the rest of our order. We called Patricia over because we were worried that our ramen orders might come out wrong and we wanted to confirm that she put it in correctly. She repeated our order back and said she would go check to ensure accuracy. A short wait later we received my child’s ramen, drinks and appetizers. They were dropped off by a male server instead of our waitress, Patricia. We noticed immediately that we had been brought the incorrect appetizer so we waited for Patricia to return to send it back and to request a fork for my child to use. After ten minutes and no Patricia we flagged down a male server who was walking by and he grabbed a fork for us. I then made eye contact with Patricia who was standing by the ramen bar with two other servers, one male and one female, laughing and talking. I raised my hand and signaled for her to come over and she held up a finger and continued her conversation. After five minutes I got up to bring the incorrect appetizer to her and as I walked over she walked past me without acknowledging me and continued on to my table. I was left to explained to the two servers still standing there that I had received the wrong food. I returned to the table. We inform her that one of our ramen orders wasn’t made correctly to which she was non responsive. By non responsive I literally mean NO RESPONSE. I could have been talking to a brick wall. She walked off. We had requested two additional forks, but she didn’t return with them so I got up and got them myself. Then she finally returned with the correct appetizer as we were almost halfway through with our ramen. Again, no words exchanged and she walks off. When she made her final return to the table she asked if we were ready for the check and I stated that we would like some refills first and to continue eating, but she could bring the check. She interrupted me and asked if we would need to go bowls. And I again requested a refill. She brought me back a glass of tea with no ice in it. So I requested that she bring me a glass of ice to which she said “you want me to just bring you ice?” In a condescending tone. So I responded in the affirmative and pointed out that she had not put ice in my refill. She rolled her eyes so I asked for the manager. She had no verbal response and walked off. She brought a glass of ice and walked away for the last time. Again, NO WORDS from her. The manager comes over and I explain my frustrations to which he apologizes and says he will be giving us a 50% discount and ensure our check is rung up correctly since there were several errors. We were satisfied. Then he returns with TWO SEPARATE checks. Which made no sense as we made it clear we wanted one check for our party. Either way we check the ticket and notice we were being charged for items we had not received or had sent back. So, he returns again and again has two separate checks. One was for $80 something dollars and one was for $7. The math was not mathing. He did not end up giving us a 50% discount. He actually just took off the incorrect items and under “goodwill” gave a $14 credit. We pointed this out to him and stated that we just wanted to pay so we could leave and asked for to go bowls. When we attempted to pay they had charged us over $117. Which was wrong. He still asked for a tip. Then as we are leaving the hostess stopped us to give us bag as we had several bowls and neither Patricia or the manager had come back by or offered one. Who is running...
